Data Protection Training for Employees in Germany
Humans are the biggest data security risk
The biggest data security risk companies face is not hacks or cyberattacks but their own employees. The major causes of data breaches are
- carelessness;
- lacking awareness of potential risks; and
- an insufficiently anchored and poorly communicated security culture.
Thus, employees, who have not been made aware of the relevance of data protection, are the greatest threat to the protection of personal data.
In-house training to enhance employee awareness
Data protection training will enhance your employees' awareness about issues that are relevant to data protection. Creating awareness about privacy-related problems, qualifying employees to apply data protection-compliant working methods, and encouraging employees to behave in compliance with data protection requirements are the most important aims of the training.
Your data protection management will only be as good its implementation by your employees and their compliance with its rules. As a consequence, raising awareness and providing training should be an integral part of your data protection management.
